Hello, everyone! Now that the first week of rehearsals for MWCT is over, I feel like I can officially announce my candidacy for Council.
For those of you who haven't met me, my name is Alison Hendrix. Some of you may know me as the founder/director of Mount Weather Community Theatre, the one who's volunteering to make soap for everyone, and one of the people looking after your children during the day. I have family here, including my two children, Oscar and Gemma, and I strive every day to make sure that this place is a safe place for them to be.
I know I'm not a politician. I'm not a superhero. I'm not royalty in my own world, or anybody special at all. I'm just a woman who cares about her family, who cares about her community, and I like to think that I've shown that already when it comes to being here.
As a member of the Council, I endeavour to put community first, to find the best ways to improve the quality of life for the people now living here. I know we're under a lot of different and unusual threats that take up a lot of our time, but in the end we're all just people and we want simple things: stability, comfort, safety. Things like scented soap and handmade mittens, community activities and enrichment programs. What Mount Weather really needs is a mother hen, happy to look after all of her chicks.
Maybe that makes me sound soft. It probably does, and I'm not ashamed of that. However, a good mother fights for what she believes in, and will fight tooth and nail to protect her children. A good mother will tear her enemies to shreds before she sees her children harmed. As long as I am in a position looking out for your welfare, you can rest easy knowing that not only will you be comfortable, but I will destroy anyone who threatens us. Happily. This is our home now, no matter where we came from.
A vote for Alison Hendrix is a vote for community. Please show your support by picking up campaign flyers and posting them in your workplace, or by wearing a "Vote Alison Hendrix" button made by our very own Felix Dawkins, all of which can be found if you stop by and visit me in Room 205 during the day.
Thank you in advance for your support — I look forward to talking with all of you!
